YOU MAKE BEAUTIFUL THINGS

You dream and create magic with your hands.

But you also need to do all of other stuff, you know…the bookkeeping, photography, building a website, marketing your work, showing up on social media, sharing the work you make, sending newsletters. You know what you want, but you need something. That boost of confidence that will set the ball rolling, get you on the right track for success, make it feel like you are actually getting somewhere.

YES. ALL OF THAT.

Well, lovely creative soul, you are in the right place.

That’s where I come in, think of me in a sparkly dress with a magic wand that I’m waving around all handmade-fairy-godmother like.

LET’S TAKE THE SCARY OUT OF RUNNING A BUSINESS.

Hi! I’m Julieanne, an Artist, Teacher, and Champion for Makers.

I was an unhappy school teacher who followed her dream to become a working artist. Now I run a successful art business, a career I truly love, and I can help you to do the same.
